Ultimately this is a very informal contest and we don't want to go around battening down all the hatches as we would with uDG. In general, use your judgement. I can't see anyone having a problem with something like SDL though.

Sounds like fun... The last contest I particpated in (a long time ago) enforced the timeframe by announcing a theme the night the contest started. Would that be the plan here, or just everyone stick to the "honor code"?

I'm still at work, but I think I decided what I want to make when I get home. I'll be making a 2D platformer with some physics puzzles. I will probably use my forklift... Not sure if I'll make the lift work, depends on what kind of puzzles I'll put in.
